I am sorry that Nebraska has a team that is so robotic and unemotional. If they just had a little more spirit they could have done more than: 2000:Win a national title 2001:Final Four 2002:Regional Final (i.e. Elite Eight) 2003:Regional Semifinals with five freshman on the floor at any given time 2004: Regional Final (loss to 2x defending National Champion by in five games, with the last being by 2 points; again using primarily 3 sophomores, two freshman, and two juniors.) 2005:National Runner-up If only they would jump up down screaming like banshees or do chest bumps after every single point, that would get them over the "hump" I am sorry that our fans our also unemotional. Instead of applauding the opposing team and recongnizing that Missouri had 4 native Nebraskans on their team, they should have been shouting "Hey you Commie Bas*#@!" every time Na Yang and the setter were up to serve, or of course Missouri's favorite chant U-S-A U-S-A. I am sorry that our "Senior Citizen" venue has let Nebraska down by not being there. Especially during those 2 conference losses in the last 6 years and 4 non-conference losses. If the crowd was more "rowdy" and given to screaming obscentities Nebraska could have a 53 home match winning streak, not just 47. That 84 match sellout is a sham, because your body doesn't count if you're over 30. So I apologize on behalf of Nebraska PR department for letting that news out. But most of all I am sorry that are so many ignorant "fans" out there who say things like "You could practically hear crickets in the Coliseum tonight...... Granted, we don't get to see or hear much of the student section on TV nor have I been there. "

So did they just launch the vb program in 2000? You failed to list the previous shortcoming if there were any. We'd hope to see everything. Any school could put together a short list of successes.

I think you should apologize for calling yourself "Huskers."

And how many times have your Huskers been ranked #1 most of the season and have fallen short----way short even. Cook can take some credit for the 2000 championship, but not all of it. He walked into that situation. And losing to USC in '04 -- a team that MN beat pretty easily in the final four. Then to be humiliated in the championship game last year. They were out played and out-coached.
Yes you've done well since '00, but I think by most measures, you have under-achieved -- mostly due to your coach, in my opinion.

And no other schools play underclassmen.

Given that no coaches in Nebraska have a vote on who is No #1 the blame clearly lies with others.
I don't know a single Nebraska fan who felt NU should start the season ranked #1 let alone be ranked #1 now. Even our coaches thought it was wrong. We lose several All-Americans and have a new setter yet THEY still voted us No.1. Now, if we don't win it will be, by your opinion, we have fallen short.

ye should apologize for yer team's choking abilities and pathetic players they make the coach look like a loser eventho he's not that bad of a coach based on the 1st 4sentences in the apology the gist of the whole thing is that the poster is apologizing for nubraska's constant choking even when avca gives them a guaranteed round of 16 path based on their ranking moreover avca also guaranteed that nubraska's path to the round of 8 will not be challenged much coz the pac10 teams and the other western teams were ranked in a way that they will play against each other thereby eliminating most of the legit teams that can embarras the perenial nubraska chokers in the early rounds if i missed anything then it's just frivolous info just like the nubraska cornchoker team haha
make love not war so spread the love i love ye all
